Stop reading books, surf the net
Reading a book is good for your brain (left image)
Surfing the Internet is much better for your brain (right image)
As older people increase their cognitive abilities drastically by only surfing the internet for one week.
All of us web-users are rewiring our brains improving abilities like multi-tasking, complex reasoning and decision-making.

Unemployment vs. Vacacenies vs. Inflation
In his article arguing against an natural rate of unemployment, Mr. Farmer created an great graph showing the Beveridge curve develop over the past 50 years.
Real Japanese Xmas tradition
When the idea to order KFC (Kentucky Frighted Chicken) for Christmas first was proposed to me, I naturally thought of a joke.
Well it turns out, it actually is a real Japanese Christmas tradition: Kentucky Frighted Japanese Christmas is huge.
Who would have guessed a huge marketing budget would get your corporation into an annual tradition?
Mh… everyone who ever saw Santa Claus would have guessed that. (Santa Claus is the invention of Coca Cola)
Sleep
Why do some people get really tired at night, when others are at their peak performance?
The human brain has 2 ways of regulating the sleep-awake cycle. The first is by external influence mainly light we see.
The other cycle is controlled by a chemical clock in our brains. This clock does not run exactly 24 hours, but it runs in a 23 hours to 25 hours cycle.
People who’s internal clock runs too fast – more like 23 hours – will get tired earlier but have no problem rising early.
Others have a slower internal clock – more like 25 hours – they might get very active at night but waking up before 11:00 is pure torture.
Over lifetime humans sync their internal clock more and more to earth days (24 hours) so most people will have a 23:47 internal clock or a 24:08 hours a day clock.
A couple of ways to reset your sleep cycle are:
- Light: seeing bright light tricks your brain to believe it is daytime and it should be better very awake. They do this to pilots in the Army to keep them awake for 36hours straight.
- Modafin il: take one of those pills and you will have the most productive and alert day of your lifetime. They also use those pills on Jet Pilots in the US-Army for their 36 hours shifts.
- Viagra: jup that stuff! It is known to reset the sleep cycle shortening the effect of a Jet-Lag for 50%. I don’t really know how one should administer the drug, before you sleep, when you wake up? Anyway in men it has a side effect that might not make it the perfect “take it before classes start” drug.

Talk like a scientist v2
The scientifically accurate form of telling someone to:
Get well soon!
I am very sorry to hear about the potential loss of 200.000.000 lifeforms, or even more.
My condolences to their clones who still prevail in their brave battle against some invading possible not lifeform, or lifeform.
I wish the best to all of you remaining lifeforms who’s offspring I will most likely one day meet in person.
Kind regards,
the conglomerate of lifeforms known as:

- mliaToday I had the shower running to simply wet my legs so I could shave them. I also had shorts & a t-shirt on because all I needed to do was shave, not shower. My 10-year-old brother then asked to use the toilet. I let him. And while he was leaving he goes, “Do you shower with your clothes on because you’re uncomfortable with your body?” MLIA
